Microencapsulated ammonium polyphosphate with melamine-formaldehyde resin (MCMF-APP) prepared by in situ polymerization and characterized by FTIR showed decreased water solubility and particle size in comparison to bare ammonium polyphosphate. APP was used as additive to natural rubber (NR) together...
